Every year, thousands of people are injured or even killed due to an exploding gas tank. Typically, an exploding gas tank is the result of a defect in the design and development of a vehicle, often due to an improper placement of the gas tank. For example, many older makes of vehicles have "side-saddle" gas tanks, which, because of the lack of protection, are extremely dangerous and highly susceptible to exploding during impact.

Whenever a vehicle manufacturer discovers the potential of an exploding gas tank in one of their vehicles, they will typically issue an immediate recall. Take for example General Motors, who had to settle 300 cases where individuals were injured due to exploding gas tanks in their trucks. The injuries included severe burns and deaths, with the total settlement being an estimated $495 million.

Although the injuries from an exploding gas tank are all too often extremely visible, taking an exploding gas tank case to court in Pennsylvania can be more complex. For example, your Philadelphia exploding gas tank attorney will have to investigate the development and design of the gas tank and the vehicle, the engineering of the manufacturing process and the circumstances of the impact that led to the exploding gas tank.

If you sustained injuries from an exploding gas tank, you may be entitled to compensation under Pennsylvania law. According to the law, you have the right to seek compensation for your physical and emotional injuries, pain and suffering, loss of future income and loss of current income due to an inability to perform your job. "But the insurance company has already offered to pay me," you say. DO NOT accept any offer from an insurance company without first consulting your Philadelphia exploding gas tank attorney. Insurance companies are known for trying to offer very low settlements to injured parties.
